Dalton has more than "a good game here or there". He has FAR more good games than bad, and that has held true this year despite all that is working against him. I get the frustration, but the criticism of Dalton is undeserved and way over the top at the very least. He's not the reason we're 4-7-1 and he's not the reason this team is 0-7 in the playoffs under Marvin Lewis.
Think about it like this, Fresno. If Dalton had been drafted by the Seahawks, do you not think Dalton would have a serious playoff run or 2, and probably a ring? Do you think Russell Wilson would have a ring with Marvin Lewis, Piano Man, Mike Brown and co? Palmer wasted most of his career in Cincy, and Dalton is well on his way to wasting his.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
